Old Guys Rule

A small, but spirited twelve players showed up to do battle on a chilly Saturday in San Pablo. First out was our gracious host, Jan K, who pushed with a set of Jacks and ran into Dominic’s flush. 
The final table had Dominic and Gerry clearly in the lead, with big stack dominance. Less than two hours into the tourney, Dom landed a straight flush which added to the intensity of a divided final table. 
Other notable hands: Haisam was able to double up when his pocket 5’s went up against Dom’s KK and a 5 hit the flop. The board paired, giving Haisam a full-house and an injury to Dom’s big stack status.

Ultimately, it was down to Bill, Amo and Gerry who touted their “old guys rule” status as the play waged on into the evening and in the points. 

Amo headed home in third place (11 points) when his all-in :Qc8c tangled with Gerry’s pocket aces.

This left Gerry and Bill, and a true heads-up battle ensued to nearly 8pm.In the end, Gerry’s :QcJc held up as the board offered no help to Bill’s :Jh9d, giving Bill the second place (29 points) award and crowning Gerry as the winner. 

Congrats to all- and Happy Holidays!
